She had never seen such a beautiful place as Adrian's all her life. The place was too big to accommodate only two persons. She decided she could take a stroll outside before Anna woke up. The garden was a sight she had never seen before. The air was so freshening that it could make anyone forget about their troubles. She noticed a small river with a bridge on it. It was so beautiful. She leaned on to the bridge as she listened to the birds.
"I always come here when I want to cool my mind down," Adrian Said behind her.
"Sir...," She mumbled startled. "I am sorry I came here but the place is so beautiful. I just wanted to cool my mind off," Hayley said.
"So beautiful," He replied giving her a small smile. For once he had managed a smile. It was going to be a great day. She thought smiling to herself. "Anna is awake plus nanny wants to talk to you," he said looking at her.
"Thank y....," He was already gone. Walking inside the house she found Anna laughing with nanny.
"Anna...," She embraced her sister as small tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. "I am glad you are alright Anna,"
"Don't cry Hayles. I am stronger than ever," Anna replied wiping her sister's tears.
"C'mon Anna we should be heading home,"
"But nanny said we will be staying here," Anna replied.
"What! No.. Anna you...,"
"Yes my dear. You will be working here. I talked to Adrian. You won't go back to doing that job anymore. You will be helping me here instead," Nanny said.
"Whaa..t! I mean wow. Thank you so much nanny,"
"You should be thanking him instead," Nanny pointed at Adrian who had been standing there all along watching the three.
"Sir..,"
"No need. Now that you're not coming back to the warehouse it doesn't mean you're still safe. Remember what you did about Andrew's case. We have to finish dealing with that. For now you can go pick up your other sibling. One of my men will take you. You will have your own room and the kids will have one of theirs. There are plenty no need to share one the three of you. That is all," He finished and left.
"I did not even say thank you. Does he have to always disappear every time," Hayley snorted.
"Do not mind him. The best thing is that you guys will be living here. Anna mentioned your brother too. I am sure he is as nice as her," Nanny said. "Now go pick up your brother. Leave Anna to me,"
"I can't still believe that I will be living in this mansion," Hayley said wiping her tears.
"You are child. Now go. I am sure Jackson is waiting to take you," Nanny said. "And you child, I am sure you are hungry. Let's go get you something to eat,"

"Andrew has been calling nonstop. He said if you do not call him back in the next thirty minutes you will not like it," Leo said to Adrian once he was back at the warehouse.
"Son of a bitch. Dial his number," Adrian said angrily.
"Adrian Grey, finally you pick up my call. I want the girl by midnight," Andrew said on the phone.
"I am not giving you the girl Andrew,"
"Oh, so. Then I hope you will welcome the police when they catch you selling drugs,"
"Okay! you can send them. Let us see what they are going to find," Adrian said cutting off the phone.
"Are you insane! You want us getting caught!" Leo blurted.
"I have always told you I am a man of second plans Leonardo. Gather up everybody. We will be vacating in the next two minutes," Adrian said dialing his uncles number.
"Adrian what is the problem?" His uncle asked.
"There is this guy threatening to send the cops to me and he knows the whereabouts of the warehouse. I wanted to let you know we are headed to the spare warehouse in case you came up here,"
"Okay! We will talk about it later,"
"Boss, everything is done!"
"Good! I will be leading! Gather the important papers and follow behind,"
"Okay Boss,"

"Does he not come home? It is already nine," Hayley asked nanny. They were seated in the kitchen stools drinking tea.
"You should not worry about Adrian. He comes home pretty late. Are Anna and Nick asleep?"
"I left them watching cartoons in their room. They probably maybe asleep by now," Hayley replied sipping her tea.
"Someone is at the door. It might be Adrian . He is home early today," Nanny said.
"I'll go get the door," Hayley said heading for the door. "Sir.., Are you drunk?" Hayley asked helping a staggering Adrian. "Let me help you,"
"Move away! I can help myself! " Adrian snapped pushing Hayley offguard making her fall on the ground. "Mind your own business next time! Okay? Help yourself up,"
"Just try and avoid him when he is around dear. It will be better off that way. We don't want him changing his mind do we?"
"Of course. I will. I should be going to bed. Goodnight nanny," Hayley said heading for the staircase.
*****
An ear _splitting sound woke Hayley from her sleep. What could that be. She thought. It was coming from the other room next to hers. Struck by a sudden curiosity, she decided to go check what it was. Checking her phone, it was three in the morning. Who could be making such noises!
She was now standing outside the room but she couldn't figure out what was going on inside. She had not had time to figure out the house yet so she didn't know whose room it was.
Grabbing the door handle, She pushed the door only to be met by Adrian's gaze. His eyes were literally blazed with Savage fire.
"What in the world are you doing in my room?" Adrian growled at her.
"Sir..I..uh..," She stuttered.
What has she got herself into!
"I hate people who mess with my privacy little girl!" Adrian snapped walking towards Hayley who was now shaking letting out short breaths.
He was now so close his eyes glued on hers. His indolently handsome eyes.
"For the last time before I lose my shit what are you doing in my room!"
She had to get herself together or get into big trouble.
"I..uh..I heard some noise coming from this room and decided to check what it was. I had no idea it was your room sir, "
"What are you? Jack Ryan! Since you were too curious, come here," He directed her on his bed. "Sit down!" He ordered.
"Sir, I..a..m sorry," She stammered. "It won't happen again,"
"Of course it will not happen again! But first we have to work on that disturbing curiosity. Don't we?" He Chuckled.
He disappeared in where she thought was his closet. She awaited on the worse that was to happen. Five minutes later, he was back dressed in shorts with a bare chest. She couldn't help but stare. His well tanned skin, toned muscled, She had not seen a man with those features before. Infact this was the first time seeing a shirtless man. It had not happened with Andrew.
"Are you stairing little girl," Adrian startled her. "Come here,"
"Sir...,I..uh,"
"I said come here. I hope I won't have to repeat myself,"
She walked slowly towards him, and stood there waiting for what would happen next. He lifted her chin and her eyes met his. He noticed her teeth were trembling. She was so scared of him. And that is what he always wanted! For everyone to be scared of him because he was the freaking boss!
He had not taken time to look at her face well. She was a dazzling completeness of natural beauty. Her long eyelashes defining her face perfectly. But he didn't care about that. He had no interest. He was stressed at the moment. A deal had been cancelled. He just wanted one thing right there and then to stress free his mind.
"Strip!"
